2017 Male Player: Terry Dunn
/Terry Dunn
Terry began playing softball in the early 80s, but would like to recognize Brian Campbell for getting him started in USSSA softball in 1988 when he joined the Steamers. A few years later, Terry would join Home Run Inn in 1990, which produced USSSA B State titles in 1993 and 1994, and a fourth-place finish in the Great Lakes National Tournament in 1995. Home Run Inn would also finish runner-up in the 1997 Class B State Tournament.
While he continued winning USSSA B State tiles with Creative Design in 2005 and KBI in 2008, Terry would add a 40+ USSSA Would Series in 2010 in Arizona.
Former teammate Alex Wanless added, “Terry stood out in many ways: he was a fierce competitor and in over 25 years, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him make a mental error in the outfield. He was a player with an abundance of physical tools; could hit for power and average and was extremely fast with great instincts.”
Terry says that USSSA softball has given him the ability to play with and against the best players in the game. In addition, great friendships and memories have been built over the years. Today, Terry enjoys playing Senior softball and hopes to continue playing for many years to come.
